© Nature Songs 2000 The Northern Cardinal is found in the Rouge and GTA. The male is bright red, with a red crest, and a black mask above a red bill, while the female is brownish, with a pink crest and red bill. The young look like the female but have black bills. They are fairly common in Ontario and Quebec, and have been sighted in New Brunswick. They frequent woodlands; but cardinals may be attracted to your back yards, with bird feeders well stocked with sunflower seeds. They are shy; yet curious; and the slightest motion or camera sound will cause them to take flight. Photographing them with any degree of success takes time. The bottom image was taken on a gray overcast day; the result being saturated colors .I know Bruce was just starting to use digital imaging and he would be pleased with the results.
